    The half a tank of gas in my Civic as most gas stations in North Carolina have no fuel? Battlestar Galactica? Pandemic? Networked threats? Negative externalities? I wrote about how we keep failing to understand and fix such systems before a crisis hits. https://www.theinsight.org/p/battlestar-galactica-lessons-from …pic.twitter.com/5kV3seW6Ll

        I fixed my system by going electric 5 years ago. Never been to gas station since.

        But you'll need gas for the generator to charge it in a blackout.

        Its much more simple - incompetence by teh Koch group of fossil fuel corporations, who will almost certainly ask the govt to bail them out. Again.

        In SC with half a tank in Mazda CX-30. Can’t help but realize hurricane season is almost here. Saw gas lines thought about hurricanes.

        On a deeper level, this is about how we're building bigger and bigger complexity traps for ourselves.

        Insight from hurricane alley: Even without supply disruptions, empty volumes in vehicle tanks is much greater than supplies at gas stations. The savvy refill early (Saturday, in the case of Colonial), then the fearful line-up. It'll take a week before distribution catches up.

        Security in software, especially web software has been improving over the last decade. Supply chain attacks are still a big risk, but it's never been easier to write secure code. Legacy software and IT underinvestment are the big problem areas.

        Didn't we get a preview of the fragility of just-in-time supply chains early in the pandemic? It's a huge topic.
